If you look at Key's senior season he is correct.

Violent Tally•100 months

I mean jr year.

voodooidotwo•100 months

I agree completely. He showed in the off-season a lack of dedication to LSU so why would his pro career be any different?

DVinBR•100 months

kiper is a fricking bird in human skin

OweO•100 months

If you go back and look at Mel Kiper Jr's mock drafts and compare them to the actual draft, he is pretty much pissing in the wind when he does these mock drafts.

airportwhiskey•100 months

True, but isn't everybody?

LSUgrad08112•100 months

I mean the odds of picking a mock draft correctly is absolutely astronomical. Assuming that there are 25 possible picks per team per slot then the odds of guessing all of them correctly is a little worse than 1 in 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

horrible pick by saints :yak:

Lake Vegas Tiger•100 months

horrible pick for saints*

Arden Key cost his self millions by showing up out of shape and taking off plays. Maybe this will teach this generation a lesson

LSUnibrow•100 months

You can say that again.

LSUnibrow•100 months

Thanks

Volt•100 months

He had them at 8 and 9 at the start of the season

magicman534•100 months

I know what you mean about mock drafts but if the saints pick another WR in the first round I’m going to burn al my saints shite!

ShortyRob•100 months

I liked Arden key but there's really no getting around that if he couldn't be bothered to stay dedicated at LSU why would he be bothered to stay dedicated after receiving a multimillion-dollar signing bonus

atltiger6487•100 months

correct. If Arden Key was playing for Alabama and had the bizarre year he had, no one here would be saying he should be a top pick. Too risky for the big money. Too many blind homers on this board. Glad you're not one of them, Shorty.

Ripley•100 months

Though it is kind of crazy. This is his mock draft and not his list of top players. Can be a big difference depending on who’s drafting when.

Gumbo1•100 months

frick Kiper. Overrated speculator. GEAUX TIGERS!!!

Stingy•100 months

Key will not and should not be a first round pick. He's a solid third rounder.

BlackTiger89•100 months

Guice will be a first rd i swear!!!

Tiger Roux•100 months

if that is what happens Key did slip a lot. Even with the Clemson guys not entering the draft would mean his offseason cost him major $$$

CelticDog•100 months

I saw him give this this morning. He said its not the best guys but who he thinks that these teams will pick.

evanstontiger•100 months

Who cares? Love the players but this is a non story.

Combine and pro day to come. This report and $10 will get you a ride on ubber!

SoulGlo•100 months

Guide will go first round. Key cost himself a ton of money by checking out last year. Second or third round.

SoulGlo•100 months

*Guice

FournetteForEver7•100 months

Key will be first round also dont kid yourself

Lsu101205•100 months

If/when Guice balls out at the combine, there wont be a second thought given to what round.

coachw•100 months

Key is going to be a flop, like his last year was with us. He doesn't have the chest. To many issues.....could care less what he does.

TampaTiger22•100 months

Gotta love that most people here TYPE like they are experts

atltiger6487•100 months

"Gotta love that most people here TYPE like they are experts".... well, this is a message board, where people give opinions. I hope the best for Key, but given this bizarre year (physically and mentally), there are legitimate questions about him. Time will tell, but it's not unreasonable for people to question spending a high pick on him.

offshoretrash•100 months

The Saints would be stupid to take a wr over Key buy they done stranger things.

Violent Tally•100 months

Key before the 3rd round is a risk.
